Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Security researchers claim to have discovered a way to circumvent Apple's security technology by using techniques they discovered while testing an early version of Anthropic's Mythos AI model in April. Their privilege escalation exploit links together two bugs and a handful of methods to gain unauthorized access. Apple is currently reviewing the researchers' findings. The attack required human cybersecurity expertise and could not have been pulled off by Mythos alone. The researchers plan to release details of the attack once Apple has patched the underlying issues.
